More Efficient Production in Dairying l rged , r r To Ro Prffrrrfd to Radiml lurrrgsrs in llrril Num* hrr*, .^lyi A. I. \n* «lrr*nn. Uprotn, April IS — KWrlent produr lion •hd censer vsl Ism In further e« pension of the dairy Industry It rec ommended today by A K. Andtfeon In his article on dairying. I’rodiirtlun exceeds demand slightly. «< cording lo Mi «Andcmon, who Is bend of the government bureau of crops and livestock estimate* here, Th* report Issued by tha stalls tlotnn follow* In part: "Dairying ha* Increased since 1921 l>ecau*« It was relatively more pros perous than certain other types of farming. Milk cows Increaeed from 23,594 906 head In 1921 to 24,676,000 nt present. Consumption of dairy products Increased 14 per cent from 1919 to 1923 and available data shows an Increase In 1923 also. "Nebraska ha* shared fully In the gen oral expansion of the dairy In dustry. The state had 601,000 milk cows In 1921 and at present there are 587.000 head. This Is an Increase of nearly 17 per cent as compared to less than 5 per cent for the entire country. "Dairy production, expressed In terms of milk, exceeds consumption slightly. "Surplus production of dairy prod ucts In foreign countries reached pre war levels in 1922 and a further in crease was made last year. "Production of creamery butter has Increased 45,000,000 pounds annually forvthe last five years. About the same Increase Is expected this year from the increased number of dairy cows. The per capita consumption of butter is up to prewar levels, and the same is true regarding cheese. Stocks of condensed milk were very large at the beginning of the year. On the other hand, there Is an in creased demand in cities for the ice cream And milk drinks. Also the de mand for mini in city distribution has Increased 8 per cent during the last two years. "In summarizing, it must be re membered that the last year was one of great industrial activity and con sumer demand was heavy. While the general situation now does not appear disadvantageous to efficient^produc ers, there are possibilities of increased imports and lower profits. Although consumption is increasing, this is not a time for undue expansion, but rather for greater efficiency. Typewriter Taboo. Paris, April 13.—If you are a gentle man you will not wrlta letters to a lady on a typewriter. So says Andre de Fouquleres, su preme arbiter of male elegance in France. "Between men,” says Andre, "even personal letters may be written on a typewriter. But when writing to a \v oman pen and ink only should be used. ''Typewriting is a stark thing, with out life or soulfulness. Handwriting, on the other hand, breathes the very individuality of the writer. It is something tangible of and from him. It is personal—the next best thing to hearing him speak, r “And then the typewriter, by In creasing the speed and facility of thought, tempts one to artificiality. The very mechanical motion of press ing the keys destroys in part the sensitiveness of the thought that is being set down.” Old Caravan Route Found. Cairo, April 13.—Prince KemalEd Din Hussein, who left Cairo In Jan uary on an expedition Into the Libyan desert for the purpose of finding the ancient caravan route and also the lecords lost by the German explorer, Rohlfs, 45 years ago, has returned aft er an entirely successful Journey. ~ - He reports that he found Rohlfs’ records under r cairn, while In an other place he found a mcsage left In a bottle. The prince placed another message in the bottle and left It in Its hiding place. Hundreds of thousands of baby chicks die each year because of bowel impaction and other bowel troubles.

Ncthwlthstnnding the Increased re ceipts. buyers wore willing to pay In creased prices for the best grades of timothy and clover mixed hay. Poor hay continued dull and w-as difficult to sell in most markets even at con cessions In price. "There was a good demand for al falfa and prairie at Kansas City from the southern trade and from dairies and feeders in the surrounding terri tory. Spring field work is becoming more active In the south and as a result there is greater demand for forage for the work animals. "Dealers in Kansas City look for a small movement of hay for some time owing to the active field work at this time of the year. This Is also stimu lating the demand and the market there shows a stronger tone. "Receipts at Omaha were light as surplus stocks at the largest shipping points are well cleaned up. Arrivals' were from scattered stations and deal ers were reported to be sending buy ers into the country to buy alfalfa, which is unusual at this time of the year.” Current quotation -at the close of the week were as follows: X». 1 Timothy.

S. Expert Carry Over Likely to Be Small and 7 Per Cent Planting Increase Expected. Lincoln, April 18.—The carry over of oats this year will be small, If consumption continues at the present rate, In spite of somewhat larger stocks March 1, A. E. Anderson, head of the federal crops and livestock estimate* bureau, said In his third of a week's series of crop surveys. A 7 per cent Increase In planting Intentions Is shown In the govern ment's survey. It declares that In creased demand* for oots Is probable. The remainder of the survey Issued by Mr. Anderson follows: "The plan to increase oats 7 per cent seems to be in harmony with the increase in dairy cows. Further more, the trend of oats acreage has been upward for the last 15 years. The consumption of the crop to date has been much larger than last year and if it continues at the same rate the carryover is apt to be small. Ia>4s of Winter Killed Oats. "Much of the oats Id southeastern states have winter killed badly. The planting survey as of February 15 indicated a decrease of 14 per cent. It is doubtful If spring planting will replace this. Both the 192! and 1923 acreages were low compared with the acreage seemingly required for the Increase of livestock. In 1923 the acreage in north Atlantic and in the cast-north-central states was slightly low. In the west-north-central and In south-central stat&i the acreage has fallen considerably behind the In crease In livestock and the Increase of 8 per cent and 20 per cent for these regions seemed to be Justified. "Last year world production of oats was the largest of any year since the war and about 250,000,000 bushels more than the pre-war average. For eign demand for oats Is being re duced gradually, due to recovery of agricultural Industry In those coun tries. Increase Proper. "In conclusion. It appears that the Intended Increase In acreage of pats seems proper, in view of the Increased livestock production, particularly dairying. Not only has there been a gradual Upward trend In acreage for several years, but certain sections have fallen below the feeding require ments of this crop. Furthermore, It Is a practical crop to replace winter wheat In the more humid regions of the wheat belt." High-Prired Author. Vienna, April 13.—Fifty cents -a word Is being paid to Prince George of Serbia, elder brother of King Alex ander, for his memoirs by s New York publishing firm. It Is reported.

'Market receipts of rattle'from No branka total 1,899,000 head In 1920, 1.210.000 head In 1921, 1,400.000 head In 1922 nnd 1,433,000 head In 1923. There were 2.727,000 cattle, other than milk cows, on January 1, aa against 2.637.000 head on January’ 1. 1920. The state ranks third In number. Same \umber On reed. "The January estimates showed about the same number on feed as a year earlier, although some western Pacific states^ had marked decreases. The market movement for 1924 Is ex pected to he orderly and normal, al though some expect lower receipts in the latter port of the year, d-'e to anticipated decreases In moveme. t of range cattle. "Range conditions and feed have been favorable during the winter and cattle are In good condition. This may result in somewhat earlier move ment from the ranges, I.ast year the soft grass and the trouble from flies delayed the finishing of grass cattle. Isiwer Corn Trices. "The expected reduction In hogs should help the cattlemen In two ways, first, by reducing the demand and therefore the price of com, and, second, by relieving the market from a deluge of cheap pork. On the other hand. Industrial conditions affect beef prices more than pork, since beef Is more of a prosperity meat. "In summarizing, most signs ap pear hopeful for the cattleman, par ticularly those who can keep down production costs. While the cattle industry appears more encouraging, the present situation does not warrant undue, immediate extension." Thousands of Lepers. Manchester, England, April 13.— Although leprosy Is being combated, there are still more than 7.000 lepers in Europe and 300,000 in the British Empire, according to Sir Leonard Rogers, one of the greatest authori ties on leprosy.

"I cannot let you hide those cloaks here,” X said. "You must see why yourself,” She flashed round at me, her ghast ly face thrust close to mine, her eyes tortured, insistent.

Pa., April 13. — Flfty names of women were among those of the 230 names on the list called for jury service In a recent court roll. Almost all of the women called for service were listed as housewives. Court attaches declare the women seem willing to go on Juries, as the experience appeals to them. Several "good women and true’ 'have ex pressed their view of jury duty as a welcome deviation from household work and also as an opportunity to learn more of the function* of the court*. None of the women on Jury service have ever been heard to protest against it, but. on the contrary, have expressed their willingness to return when called upon.

The Increase of 25'per cent In the number of hog* received at mar ket* in 1923, was unprecedented, end the heavy run* continued during January and February of this year says Anderson’* report. ‘‘This abnormally heavy run resu:*. ed In lower price* and discourag'd production. The fall pig crop w, reduced nearly 4 per cent for the < belt and about 7 per cent for the whole country. Unless farm'-'* changed their Intentions a* to • spring crop. It will range from 85 to 90 per cent of a pear ago. This sme er supply of pigs should bring the in dustry up to a profitable level. ‘‘Nebraska shared heavily in the n creased marketings last year. A total of 5.777.000 hogs were received at the different markets as compar'd With 4,lj0,000 the year previous. Th.s is an Increase of 38 per cent ag inst 25 per cent for the entire country These figures do not include farm slaughter or small town slaughter, which will probably approximate SC". 000 head " The report then predicts that "while the foreign demand may drop th = year, it is not probable that It will offset the expected Increase in pro duction.” The CONTINENTAL W COMMERCIAL BANKS CHICAGO Statements of Condition March 31, 1924 CONTINENTAL WCOMMERCIAL NATIONAL BANK CHICAGO Resources Tune Loans ..$14^354,614 82 Demand Loans. 71,432,968.11 Acceptances.. 959.095.12 Bonds, Securities, etc... 12,7242224.43 $228,370,902.48 U.
